Modern couples need not fear the seven-year itch, but can expect their romance to cool off and endure more arguing after just three years together, the study found.
The survey of 2000 UK adults in steady relationships found 67 percent of people said small irritations with partners only became major issues around the three-year mark.
The study was commissioned by Warner Brother to coincide with the UK release of Owen Wilson's new movie, Hall Pass.
Time couples spent arguing rose from an average of 1.2 hours a week for those who have been together for less than three years to 2.7 hours per week for couples who've passed their three-year anniversary, the study said.
As for sex, the news isn't much better. Couples past the three-year mark can expect to have less than a third as much sex as newer couples.
"Longer working hours combined with money worries are clearly taking their toll on modern relationships," pollster Judi James said.
Study participants cited weight gain, worrying about money, antisocial working hours, drinking too much and hard-to-handle in-laws as the primary romance killers

It's not that hard the more women are entitled,"independent",obnoxius and with attitude and the less relationships are gonna last.

The average modern man cannot be a pvssy/accomodating/tolerant any more than he already is,so the reason of breakups are not on him.

Just cut out 50% of the male population and women are not going to be so annoying since their ability to replace a partner as easily as if he was a bag or a pair of shoes would disappear.
Just imagine a kid who would trade his parents any time they don't give him what he wants,or simply because he saw on tv an other kind of parents he would like to try.

Isn't it true though, that most guys here on this forum are not interested in having a "partner"? Isn't it true that what they really want are an endless supply of "plates"?

So you're saying most guys here really just want a relationship, but instead portray their goal as screwing everything that moves just to appear more badass? Interesting.

I'm saying that most of the guys in this site would be fine to get a girl and live their life without too many complications,even if they were "spinning plates" the reason was to avoid turning back into afc and lose the girl or at least thats why many suggest that behaviour(to protect themselves from flakers and increase the chances to have things working).

Anyway being yourself a half century old you should know better than me that words are cheap and every man is a king when it comes of words.
